v1.0.0 — First release
First release.
At install, LocalPulse asks only for the permissions listed in the README; site access and the tabs
list are optional and requested when a feature needs them.
Added
- Side panel. Chat about the current page, with quick actions: Summarize, Key points, Explain
code, Simplify, Action items, Translate and Compare. - AI providers, most private first:
- the browser's built-in model, summarizer and translator (Chrome, Edge);
- Ollama, LM Studio and llama.cpp;
- in-browser models (WebLLM: Llama 3.2 1B and 3B, Qwen 3.5 2B);
- OpenAI-compatible cloud APIs with your own key (Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral, Hugging
Face, OpenAI, custom).
- Privacy:
- consent before any page goes to a cloud provider;
- the provider is shown on every answer;
- Local-only mode and never-send sites;
- emails, phone numbers and card numbers in the page hidden before it goes to the cloud;
- follow-up questions take earlier answers to a cloud provider only from pages allowed for it.
- Long pages read in parts; questions answered from the most relevant sections.
- More content:
- PDFs (open in a tab or dropped into the panel);
- YouTube transcripts;
- GitHub files and pull requests;
- several tabs at once.
- Right-click actions on selected text, with Proofread and Rewrite that can replace the text in
the page's field. - Checked quotes: quotes in answers are looked up on the page, and missing ones are flagged.
- Continue in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity: the question is copied and the site
opens; you paste it and press Send. - Custom quick actions, with import and export, and a community pack.
- Local history with Markdown export; tables download as CSV.
- Everywhere: light and dark themes, translatable interface, and a Firefox version (without
in-browser models).
